15 X 8" rims with 3.5" BS

Does anyone know if a MT 10" x 28" tall slick mounted on a 15 x 8" rim with a 3.5" BS will fit on a stock '87 TR??
These are Billet Specialties and I'm worried they will rub on the outer lip. I don't want to mod the lip for them to fit.
Thanks for any info

I had 28 x 10.5W ETs on 15 x 8.5" AutoDrag wheels with 3 5/16" BS and they were right out to the lip. If yours are not rolled they may touch. Or you could use airbags and just raise the car. These were "W"s so the actual footprint was more like 11 - 11.5".

Thank you John!
Seems that going 1" taller than my 27" MT wouldn't present an issue but it's the section width that has nervous. I would think a 4" BS would be ideal being an 8" rim.
